Security is a major concern in today's society, whether it is for homes, businesses, or important assets. Having a high-security locking mechanism is crucial given the ever-evolving risks of lock picking and unauthorized key duplicating. 

Modern Strongbox safes with innovative dual-locking mechanisms that offer exceptional protection against physical tampering are our specialty at Advance Security. Our locking technology ensures that your belongings stay safe by going beyond conventional solutions.

However, what distinguishes our locking systems? Let's examine how our cutting-edge security solutions differ from conventional locks and why top companies in a range of sectors rely on Strongbox safes.

The innovative dual locking system, which makes the lock practically impenetrable, is manufactured by ASSA. Because of this special operation, ASSA has been able to create a patented key control system that guards against illegal key duplication and can be master keyed into a security system to meet the needs of every client. The locking mechanism does not need to be purchased from ASSA by Advance Security. Rather, we are authorized to produce the locking mechanism in our own plant. 

Dual locking mechanism v/s normal locking mechanism

The key for the dual locking mechanism has two codes, which is how it differs from the standard locking mechanism:

·       The biting code or system code:
In essence, it indicates which particular key system the lock belongs to and what configuration the key must have in order to operate it correctly. It is a set of numbers or letters engraved on the key that serve as a unique identifier, enabling locksmiths to duplicate the key by precisely cutting the required grooves based on that code. 

Side bar Code:

This is a specific code that is incorporated into the cylinder's design and works with particular "side pins" on the key. It adds an extra degree of security by requiring both the correct key profile and the side bar code in order to release the lock.

In normal Locking mechanism a person with the right tools might theoretically unlock the door without the necessary key because the standard locking mechanism only includes the system code and not the side bar code, making it susceptible to physical manipulation like picking or bumping. However, with Advance Security's Strongbox Safe, this risk is significantly reduced.

How does Dual locking mechanism work and what are its advantages:

The key has two locking mechanism, one known as system code and the other called side bar code. The lock contains small pins or disc inside it. When the correct key is inserted into the lock, it pushes the pins or rotates the disc to the right position. This alignment helps in creating a clear path for the lock to turn. Once everything is properly aligned, the cylinder can rotate. 

Manufacturing and incorporating the dual locking mechanism helps advance security safe lock to be advantageous in three ways:

1.     Complex pins system, making them resistant to picking or bumping

2.     Added sidebar codes which act as an additional security

3.     Locks made up of strong materials to resist drilling or forced entry
